Book Ngoma
African Band & Dancers
Ngoma is a London based young people’s arts organisation with an African band and dancers. It’s aim is to give young people the chance to learn new and improve existing skills in performing arts through music and dance based on African art and culture, and in effect create a platform where participants can exhibit their talents and also experience performing on stage.
The African Band’s & Dancers’ performances range from relaxing soft and melodic sounds of the thumb piano (endongo), panpipes (enkwanzi), tube fiddles (endingidi) and xylophones (amadinda) to the highly exciting, powerful and yet beautiful revolving rhythms of the ngoma. Or they can just play African drums!
The beauty and sound of this mesmerising repertoire of dance and music is bound to get the audience up on to the dance floor.
Perfect entertainment for any occasion from birthday parties, social dinners, gatherings and banquets to fundraising evenings. Ngoma also supply African dancers.
